Good gosh! I don't know what the heck is going on?! They are invading BOTH of my dogs on the tips of their ears and are eating to the point of bleeding (and to make things worse, there weren't even wounds on the ears to begin with!). I put septi-cleanse to keep them away and to prevent from making the wounds worse but the flies still hover and are driving my pups crazy. Whats up with this?

Today, the dog that I grew up with was put to sleep. I didn't realize how much it would hurt until I got home. I miss her so much already, and I can stop thinking about her just laying dead at the vet. I feel terrible. What can I do to feel better?

I am a college student, I want a small dog, and I really think these are adorable...but I heard they are very high maintenance and
have health issues.
Or if you have any other suggestions let me know!

So, I have a maltese with a mowhawk right now. It's wasn't intentional, I swear. Our groomer comes every 3 weeks. It's a little pattern. She does our Yorkie, 3 weeks later she does our Maltese, 3 weeks after that she does the Yorkie's hair again. We keep their haircuts short. So, really, They both get groomed every 6 weeks. My Maltese doesn't get groomed for another 2 weeks. The way her fur is growing on the top of her head, it looks like she has a little mowhawk. I want to dye it hot pink temporarily, but I don't want to use people products. I don't know how that will work, or what it might do to her. Anyone know of a product out there?

-Pet friendly
-Temporary
-Pink

P.S. If you think this is freaky, know that I'm 16. Ha, it makes more sense now, doesn't it?

Can not people see that now it is pit bulls next it well be some other large breed of dog. When there is no more pit bulls people will turn on a different breed. The bad guys will use other dogs to fight and gruad thier drugs. Here is a little know fact. In St Paul Minnesota there were about 13,000 dog bites a year. Most dogs were "family breeds" like cocker spanils, collies and the like. Last year that figuare droped more than in half with the number of pit bulls making up about half of the pet dog population. If pits are so bad why did the number of dog bites go down when the pit population went up. We who fight BLS are fight not just for our dogs but for everyone who owns a breed that will become a target in the future

...if you had to pass an intelligence test to be entrusted w/a dog?


First question=Can you SPELL the breed name correctly?
#2=Do you KNOW the BREED STANDARD?? *ANY* of it?
#3= Can you say HOUSEBREAK instead of "go poddy(*D*???) or "go to the bathroom"??
#4=Do you know what a CRATE is ??? Can you USE one?
#5=Do you understand that REAL dog are NOT "disney-cartoons"???
#6=Do you understand that any dog will get FAT if you OVER-FEED it???
#7=do you have enough BRAIN-CELLS to NAME the thing BY YOURSELF???
Please,feel free to add more questions!

Just imagine how many animals would live much better/healthier/LONGER lives if people had to *PASS* these simple/BASIC knowlege questions.

I have a 2 yr old german shepherd and she becomes anxious in unfamiliar situations. She is about 63 lbs and i got an x-tra large carrier within american airlines restrictions. Her vet prescribed acepromazine, a 25 mg sedative for the flight. I'm flying roundtrip from st. louis to LA which is about 4-5 hours nonstop. My concerns are her health and how it will affect her overall. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

My mother has told me that she wants to buy a dog. We are both currently researching a breed that would fit best with her lifestyle, and I was wondering if anybody could help us.

Because of my mother's declining health, she will not be able to take care of a dog that needs to be walked more than once a day. We are looking for a dog that would be content just playing indoors or keeping her company. Also, I don't want a dog that is big enough to knock her over.

We were thinking about getting either a whippet or a boston terrier. Does anyone have any better suggestions? Thanks.

My dog keeps outsmarting me! We have a 6 foot fence surrounding our property and my dog keeps climbing it and running around town! I take him to work with me on a vineyard everyday where he runs around for 9 hours, so he can't be underwalked. I put an electric wire on the top of the fence wich worked until the battery died when he chewed it off at the base so it could not be repaired. He has pulled apart any atempt at tying him up. even tried a board at the top of the fence facing in (kind of like at the top of a prison fence). I feel like we have tried everything! Help!

I am in the process of buying a black female pug puppy. I have already chosen a (responsible) breeder, and am wondering what I should look for when choosing the puppy I want from the litter. Any good/bad signs to look out for? Should I avoid choosing the runt of the litter? (I've heard good & bad things about runts). What are the desirable & undesirable traits I could be looking for? Also, what age should pug puppies typically be when they are released to their new owners? (I realize this can vary depending on the readiness of the puppy). Thanks for any and all advice....

My toy poodle began vomiting up everything he ate, soon after he swallowed any food or water. I brought him to the vet for an x-ray and many other tests and they were negative. He did not have a movement for 5 days, and then slowly began digesting things again. He definitely chews his fur on occasion, but I was told it could not be a hairball. How do I stop him from eating his fur? And would a hairball remedy help him in the future, should this happen again. He is occasionally vomiting now, and there is always a small chunk of hair in his vomit. Hope someone can give me some good advice
